Hiya everyone! A very happy New Year to you all! I hope that 2013 is a super fabulous year for all of us! I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions, but I did follow a few superstitious guidelines for ringing in the year after hearing a conversation my mom had at Curves the other day. I really had no idea there were so many different beliefs on the subject, so I did a bit of research. After throwing open all the doors at midnight, banging on pots and pans, and making sure I had the proper “first footer” come through my door, I think I should be in for a really good year. 
Today I am back with another fun Winterings project I created for Little Yellow Bicycle this week.
One of the many things I love about the holidays are all the beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree. Thought I would carry on that tradition with a pretty package, perfect for a winter birthday or any special chilly occasion.
Covered the top of a recycled box with patterned paper, and tied it up with wide satin ribbon. Added a quick gift tag made from one of the journaling cards and a chipboard house, and decorated the bow with a die cut banner and a sweet layered snowflake.
For more details on my giftbox, or to see all of my Winterings guest projects, please visit the Little Yellow Bicycle blog. And a huge thanks to all of you for leaving me a bit of love over there! I sooooooo appreciate you!
Hope you have a wonderful day!

This is really beautiful!
What an absolutely gorgeous package–a gift in itself! What is a “first footer”?
This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the soft tones you used.. We used to always run up and down the streets banging pots and pans on NYE when my daughter was young. The kids would always have a blast. Me… I just wanted to go to bed.
Wishing you all the best in 2013.
